WAAH WAAH

Radical Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir were upset with reports last week that their leader, the euphoniously-named Sheik Ismail Al-Wahwah, had called for Australia to be ruled by Muslim law.

Under a Wahwah-style government, according to reports, alcohol would be banned, an Islamic strict dress code enforced and languages other than Arabic outlawed in schools.

This was the Hizbies’ cue to call a Wahwambulance.

“Ismail al-Wahwah did not mention Australia at all in his lecture, a fact evident to anyone who watches the excerpts of the lecture on the basis of which the claim was made,” the group wailed. “The lecture – the complete recording of which will be up on our website soon – was about the establishment of the Caliphate in the Muslim World. At no point was any vision for Australia presented.”

“That is the duty of the caliphate – to implement Islam internally and carry the light of Islam to the rest of the world,” the Sheik declared. “How? Not with flowers.”

Key words: “The rest of the world.” The last time we checked an atlas, Australia was a part of that world. Therefore Wahwah’s wishes apply just as much here as they do anywhere else. Wahwah is pedalling caliphate crap, plain and simple.

(By the way, no flowers and no booze? Dates with this bloke must be a delight.)

Another local caliphate fan also emerged recently, courtesy of international monitoring organisation The Middle East Media Research Institute. Former Catholic Musa Cerantonio spoke at Islamic venues in Sydney and Melbourne late last year.

“Re-establishing the Islamic state is eventually going to be a military matter, and it is a matter that concerns a large part of the Islamic nation,” Musa, raised in Victoria, said.

“The Taliban, may Allah grant them victory, they are the heroes of the Islamic nation these days. These are men. “

Lucky for them. If they were women, they’d be pelted with rocks and have acid thrown in their faces.

“They are the men of this Islamic nation today, the Taliban, may Allah grant them victory. You don’t find anyone like them on the face of this earth.”

For which we can all be deeply thankful. Peacemaker Musa continued:

“The answer to Palestine is not by holding hands with the infidels. It’s not by pleading to the UN to accept Palestine as a nation. The answer is, as the Prophet said, to fight the infidels until the religion belongs to Allah. The primary goal or strength that we are going to have is in physical warfare.”

Have Your Say

Just more loudmouths, these Hizbies. Nothing at all to worry about, they are @1% of Australia’s population and by and large huddle together in their suburbs like sheep in a pen. They are all easily identifiable and most of the gobbiest are on the files of the security services anyway. Push comes to shove? Us vs Them?
No contest, over before it starts.

Yes PF - gun ownership is back up to pre 1996 levels. But it seems the only automatic weapons are in Lakemba, Punchbowl, Bankstown, Guildford and Merrylands.

And when they start up something like the AIP ... Australian Islamic Party ... a get a couple of candidates up to hold the balance of power, like the Greens or the “Independents” Oakeshott and Windsor? It’d be power via the ballot box.

Yes, PFoNE, if it’s only a case of us and them in Oz, then as you say, no contest.

Trouble is, if push comes to shove, they might well call for help from their fellow religionists in our region - with a total of somewhere around 280,000,000.

This redneck has no problem with the dysfunctional areas of Sinny and Melbum becoming caliphates.

Quite so!
Except for one small problem, the gerrymander. For every one regional electorate there are about 10 inner city ones. The ‘luvvies’ and their bureaucracy have rigged the system. A great example was when the ‘Cheshire Cat’, Peter Beattie promised the people around Greater Brisbane water to the distress of the farming community of the Mary Valley. It was a ‘Win - F.U.’.
So in the future when the inner city tells you to face Mecca you will have to jump to it.

I just wonder where all the - ahem - ‘asylum seekers’ will head to then, once the entire world is one big grovelling, caterwauling basket case?

I think you’ll find it’s your article that would be the target of Roxon’s laws, not his speech. Australia is the land where minorities rule.

In the Real world where Football, peace be on it, and not religion, a pox be on its house and all who live in her. I declare that Collingwood, long may it be derided, peterdaicos!. And let cricket, neverplayahorizontalbattoawdeballoutsideoffstump be for ever the summer sport, Gozonta.
It is my wish and understanding, gong gong pootin pootin , that the MCG remain forever the shrine, ding ding whatchoutfortrams, for all time.

The proposed “language laws” are to protect victims against nasty white conservative views. It’s not possible to be racist, sexist, misogynistic, bigoted or <insert specific>-phobic unless you read Bolt or Blair.

“Pedalling” - stet. Very Islamic; it’s all in the Koran, specifically Surah 128 (the “Puncture Repair Kit” surah), which relates the night journey of the Prophet (pbuh) from Mecca to Medina on a Raleigh, accompanied by his wife on a wee pink tricycle.

@Bruce

Wahwah pedal?? Very tenuous ...

When will the bleeding hearts start to take these haters for their word?

They so clearly do not want peaceful coexistence, they want to rule by force. Will the west wake up in time ...

We are all born Muslim. Only due to our misguided parents who ‘have been led astray’ we are Christians or Jews, and since Islam is the only true, the ‘original’ religion, we don’t convert, we ‘revert’.

The same with the Islamic state:

Only the caliphate with strict sharia implementation is legitimate; everywhere else the infidels must be removed from holding the reigns of power.

All the world and everything in it belongs to allah and his prophet (or profit, if you prefer.)

The property of the slain infidels is ‘booty’ and so are their wife’s and daughters.

Byron, a very good question...so, where are the brave media asking this (amongst many) very same question of the caliphate,taliban loving Wah hi Haha?

Let’s not forget that the Taliban (misogyny in its most evil form) is also made up of “foreign fighters”. Many are Arabs, especially Saudis, Libyans, Egyptians. A small number of British, Uzbeks, Chechens and other Central Asian islamists. Also the odd idiot Australian.

Yes. It takes a real man to do that sort of heroic thing.

Urk.

So let me see if I’ve got this right.
I’m an infidel.
So that hate speech is directed at me and every other Australian that disagrees with his thoughts of world domination by his religion.
The man’s a fool.

In THIS country there can be only one conclusion.
99% US 1+/-% THEM.
Think about it, I’m sure they do, which is why they do so much gobbing off. In Australia, mouthing off is all they’ve got.

Since the fatwah on Christmas was issued there have been several instances of increased Islamist agitation. That Hizb Ut-Tahrir is to the fore is no surprise. In fact, one of the main focal points of their 2010 Calipha Conference was the nuts and bolts of using ‘lawfare’ against Australia. What amazes is how many seem not yet to have comprehended the reality. Although thoroughly and completely Islamist, very few seem to take them at their word.
Talk-back dutifully discussed these incidents and even interviewed “experts” and protagonists. The wash-up was as predictable as it was post-9/11 – these views don’t represent “moderate Islam”; there was even a statement by an afternoon 2GB stand-in that “real Muslims” should and would totally reject such hard-line “interpretations”. After all, they just want to live a simple Australian life, right?
This smacks of an ignorance that is, these days, unforgiveable in journalists who claim some level of understanding and insight into the Islamist agenda.
There has been NO REPUDIATION of any Islamist action ever in Australia which carried any clout beyond the tame Australian media and there never will be because virtually every Islamist demand has a foundation in either Koran, Haddith or Surrah. NO Muslim cleric or spokesperson would ever repudiate these various fatwahs or demands because to do so would be to speak against the word of Mohamed or Allah. We know the fate of those who attempt such.
Since 9/11 – (as a convenient starting date) – there have been many calls for Islam to moderate itself, to rid itself of its more violent, misogynistic and hateful aspects. To date, there has been no such moderation..
And please, take Hizb et al at their word - they aren’t making this stuff up.
